How to preserve Wallace melon
1. The related maintenance methods are as follows: store at room temperature: if you plan to eat cantaloupe within a day or two, you can keep it at room temperature, but it is best not to expose it to direct sunlight. Refrigerate: if you want to keep the cantaloupe longer, put it in the freezer. Wash and dry the melon, then put it in a plastic bag or plastic wrap to prevent the smell in the refrigerator from affecting its taste.
2. Jiuhongrui melon introduction Jiuhongrui melon is one of the varieties of muskmelon, also known as cantaloupe, Wallace melon, melon and so on. Its outer skin is bright yellow, round or round. Melon meat is white in color, high in sugar, good in taste, comprehensive in nutrition and containing a variety of nutritional elements. Compared with other varieties, it is more resistant to transportation and is not easy to damage. Its single weight is almost more than two jin. Bask in the sun during planting so that it will taste better.
3. Thick-skinned muskmelon is not tolerant to high soil and air humidity, which requires sufficient light and higher temperature (especially during the melon-bearing period), as well as a large temperature difference between day and night. The accumulated temperature of more than 15 ℃ is required for the whole growing period of middle and late maturing varieties, which is 3000-4000 ℃. The optimum temperature for warm breeding is 25-30 ℃.
4. Choose cantaloupe with high maturity, the seeds of this kind of melon will be fully ripe, take out the seeds and rinse them in clean water several times, then rinse all the mucus on them. Cantaloupe seed method cantaloupe, also known as Bailan melon, Wallace melon, etc., its seeds grow in the fruit, the plant will grow fruit after flowering, cantaloupe seeds are yellow and white, directly picked when ripe, remove the pulp and peel.
5. Melon, commonly known as cantaloupe (such as the following picture for reference), also known as: melon, cantaloupe, Bailan melon, Wallace melon. Because this species has a long cultivation, a wide variety, fruit shape, color, size and taste also vary from variety to variety, horticulture is divided into dozens of strains, such as common cantaloupe, cantaloupe, Bailan melon and so on. This kind of fruit is an important fruit in midsummer; it is used in herbal medicine and has the effects of dispelling inflammation and detoxification, promoting vomiting, dehumidifying, relieving jaundice and so on.
How to keep the endless cantaloupe for a long time
1. Cantaloupes that have been cut and not finished can be put directly into the freezer at home. But be careful not to put it in it for too long. Wrap the cut cantaloupe in plastic wrap (be sure to seal it), or pack it in a box if you have a cling box at home. Then put it in the refrigerated layer of the refrigerator and keep it for about three days.
2. Store in a cool and ventilated place. The temperature of the storage environment is very critical for cantaloupe. If the temperature is not right, then cantaloupe will go bad very quickly. When preserving cantaloupe, you should choose a cool and ventilated place and sprinkle lime powder around it, then spread straw hay on the place used to preserve cantaloupe, and finally gently stack the packaged cantaloupe so that it can be stored for about 18 days.
3. Uncut melons can be taken out of the bag and placed in a cool, ventilated and dry place so as not to let the sun shine so that they can be preserved for a week or so. If the cantaloupe is cut and not finished, you can put it in the fridge. It is best to wrap the cantaloupe with plastic wrap before putting it in the refrigerator. It can be preserved more freshly and is not easy to be dehydrated.
4. Choice of storage environment: a cool, ventilated and moderate humidity place should be chosen to store muskmelon. Avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment to prevent muskmelon from deteriorating rapidly. At the same time, it is also important to keep the storage environment clean and hygienic. Judgment of maturity: when buying cantaloupe, you can choose according to its maturity. If you are ready to eat immediately, choose the cantaloupe with suitable maturity; if you store it temporarily, you can choose the unripe cantaloupe to prolong its shelf life.
5. The first kind: the simplest and most convenient, put it directly in the refrigerator at home. But also be careful not to put it in it for too long. You can judge how many days it is better to store the melons according to the ripeness of the melons you buy. In general, three to five days is the best preservation range. If you put it in the refrigerator and take it out, it has obviously become soft, which means that the melon is too ripe.
6. If you can't finish the cantaloupe, you'd better seal it with a fresh bag and refrigerate it in the refrigerator. If it is a complete cantaloupe, do not put it in the refrigerator, wrap it in a newspaper and put it indoors or directly into a carton. Because cantaloupe is suitable to be preserved at about 25 °C, too low temperature is easy to destroy its tissue structure, affect taste and nutrition, so as to better preserve cantaloupe.
What is the appropriate storage temperature for cantaloupe?
The temperature of the storage environment is very critical for cantaloupe, if the temperature is not right, then cantaloupe will go bad very quickly. When preserving cantaloupe, you should choose a cool and ventilated place and sprinkle lime powder around it, then spread straw hay on the place used to preserve cantaloupe, and finally gently stack the packaged cantaloupe so that it can be stored for about 18 days.
Temperature control: the best storage temperature of muskmelon is 5-13 degrees Celsius (41-55 degrees Fahrenheit). In this temperature range, the metabolic rate of muskmelon is slow, which is beneficial to maintain its freshness. If there is no constant temperature storage room at home, you can put the muskmelon in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator for storage. It should be noted that cantaloupe should not be put in the freezer, otherwise it will cause frostbite and affect the taste.
If it is a complete cantaloupe, do not put it in the refrigerator, wrap it in a newspaper and put it indoors or directly into a carton. Because cantaloupe is suitable to be preserved at about 25 °C, too low temperature is easy to destroy its tissue structure, affect taste and nutrition, so as to better preserve cantaloupe. How to preserve cantaloupe for a long time? when preserving cantaloupe, you should pay attention to it. If you find that the temperature and soil temperature rise relatively quickly, you must prevent the temperature from getting too high.
Choose the right temperature: cantaloupes should be stored in a cool place, the ideal temperature should be between 4-13 °C. Avoid putting cantaloupe in the refrigerator, as too low temperature will damage the internal tissue of cantaloupe, affecting the taste and storage time. If the indoor temperature is high, you can put the cantaloupe in the coolest room or wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the fruit and vegetable preservation room of the refrigerator. Maintain proper humidity: cantaloupes like a humid environment, but should not be too wet.
Cold storage: put the muskmelon in the fresh box of fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator and keep the temperature between 5-10 ℃. This temperature can effectively inhibit the respiration of muskmelon and prolong its shelf life. However, it should be noted that cantaloupe should not be kept in the refrigerator for too long, otherwise it will affect its taste. Packaging and preservation: cantaloupe can be packed separately, using plastic film or fresh-keeping bag, which can prevent cantaloupe from being affected by the external environment and prolong its shelf life.
Storage method of cantaloupe
1. Cantaloupes that have been cut and not finished can be put directly into the freezer at home. But be careful not to put it in it for too long. Wrap the cut cantaloupe in plastic wrap (be sure to seal it), or pack it in a box if you have a cling box at home. Then put it in the refrigerated layer of the refrigerator and keep it for about three days.
2. Uncut melons can be taken out of the bag and placed in a cool, ventilated and dry place so as not to let the sun shine so that they can be preserved for a week or so. If the cantaloupe is cut and not finished, you can put it in the fridge. It is best to wrap the cantaloupe with plastic wrap before putting it in the refrigerator. It can be preserved more freshly and is not easy to be dehydrated.
3. Uncut cantaloupe: it is not recommended to put the whole uncut cantaloupe in the refrigerator, as this will destroy the taste of cantaloupe and make it less crisp than before. This is as the saying goes, "frozen ripe", and its taste has become less crisp. The whole uncut cantaloupe can be kept in a dry and ventilated shade for about a week. Of course, considering the temperature, it can't be kept for too long.
Method 2: put the cantaloupe covered with foam net into the bamboo basket or wicker basket first, do not fill it, leave some space in the upper part. Then overlap the baskets in a cool and ventilated room. Keep room temperature 16 to 18 degrees Celsius, relative humidity 80% to 85%, can be stored for 20 to 25 days. Method 3: put the melons covered with foam net into cardboard boxes or bamboo baskets with ventilation holes, and then cross-stack them in the cold storage after pre-storage.
5. There are several ways to store cantaloupe. The following is the choice of specific storage environment: you should choose a place with cool ventilation and moderate humidity to store cantaloupe. Avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment to prevent muskmelon from deteriorating rapidly. At the same time, it is also important to keep the storage environment clean and hygienic. Judgment of maturity: when buying cantaloupe, you can choose according to its maturity.
6. Store in a cool and ventilated place. The temperature of the storage environment is very critical for cantaloupe. If the temperature is not right, then cantaloupe will go bad very quickly. When preserving cantaloupe, you should choose a cool and ventilated place and sprinkle lime powder around it, then spread straw hay on the place used to preserve cantaloupe, and finally gently stack the packaged cantaloupe so that it can be stored for about 18 days.
How to store cantaloupe without losing moisture?
1. Choose a suitable storage environment: cantaloupes should be stored in a cool and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight and high temperature. Too high temperature will accelerate the metabolism of cantaloupe, resulting in water loss. At the same time, humidity should also be kept in an appropriate range, too high or too low humidity will affect the moisture retention of cantaloupe. Packaging and storage: put the cantaloupe into a plastic bag, drain the air from the bag as much as possible, and then seal it.
2. Avoid direct sunlight: ultraviolet rays in the sun will accelerate the ripening process of the fruit, resulting in water loss. Therefore, melons should be stored in places away from light, such as cabinets or fruit baskets. Single-layer storage: do not stack melons on top of each other, as this will increase the pressure between them, leading to damage and water loss. It is best to put each cantaloupe on the shelf separately and keep a certain distance.
3. Choose a suitable storage environment: cantaloupes should be stored in a cool, ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures. Too high temperature will lead to accelerated evaporation of water inside cantaloupe, affecting the taste. In addition, the humidity of the storage environment is also very important, and appropriate humidity can slow down the water loss of muskmelon. Generally speaking, the suitable storage temperature of cantaloupe is 5-10 degrees Celsius and the humidity is 85% and 90%.
4. Packaging and storage: wrap the cantaloupe with plastic film or fresh-keeping bag, which can effectively prevent the evaporation of water. At the same time, it can also prevent muskmelon from absorbing the smell of other items and maintain its original fragrance. Control storage time: the higher the freshness of cantaloupe, the faster its water loss. Therefore, try to eat in a short time, do not store for a long time.
5. Storage of cut cantaloupe: for cantaloupes that have been cut, they are easy to deteriorate at high temperature, so it is recommended to store them in the refrigerator. However, in order to avoid sugar loss and affect the taste, it is recommended to eat it within 1 to 2 days as soon as possible. Storage humidity ensures appropriate humidity: too high or too low humidity will affect the preservation quality of muskmelon. If the environment is too dry, cantaloupe may lose water and shrink, affecting commodity value, while high humidity may lead to mildew and rot of cantaloupe.
6. Store in a cool and ventilated place. The temperature of the storage environment is very critical for cantaloupe. If the temperature is not right, then cantaloupe will go bad very quickly. When preserving cantaloupe, you should choose a cool and ventilated place and sprinkle lime powder around it, then spread straw hay on the place used to preserve cantaloupe, and finally gently stack the packaged cantaloupe so that it can be stored for about 18 days.
